| Abstract | Networked computers have been used for over 30 years. APL has been part of that environment from the beginning. One key value APL has always provided is the ability for individuals and groups to be independent of complex, centralized administration.Today, APL continues to excel in that role. New technologies often require centralized administration of services such as Web page development and publishing, report printing and distribution, Web based interactive applications and Web enabled data delivery.We have been able to provide these types of services in a way that allows users connected worldwide to a singe APL system to develop, test and distribute data and applications with a minimum of overhead and central control. This paper will discuss four areas of services and several applications in each area.The four areas are:1. Web Mapped APL Files.These allow any user that can create and manage an APL file to create a Web site and distribute non-interactive data.2. Global Print Distribution via FTP.This facility allows any network user to define their PC, Workstation or Server to the APL FTP delivery system. Once defined, reports can be automatically FTPed to their PC from any corporate network host, not just the APL host.3. Parameterized Interactive Web Applications.This is a Web metasystem that allows any APL user to define an interactive Web site using a centralized Web server based in APL. Once the initial registration is complete, the user is free to change or expand their web application using simple, but powerful tools.4. Application-to-Application Systems.These are applications that require custom software on both the server and client systems. These offer the most tailored user interface, but require the most sophisticated programming, in general. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
